And just what would they do with it?

That seems an easy way to get your merchant account cancelled very, very quickly.

But why would they care? Stripe does payments every 3 days or so and you can easily create more accounts. I never ever checked my credit card history, and I assume many people who only use it as secondary payment system don't. It's easy as fuck therefore IMO a valid scenario.

Without the CVC code, Stripe isn't going to accept the payment.

Even if it did, the bank is likely to block the transaction, or call/text for verification.
